WARNING
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents,
certain vehicle components and fluids,
contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT
The engine in this machine is not equipped by the manufacturer
with a standard spark arrester.
It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to

All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the tractor or any implement attached to it. It is
the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.

2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enter
the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no safe
place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run
over or interfere with your control of the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
implement.

6. SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements to the
ground, place the gear shift lever in neutral, stop the
engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on or
near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
2. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow
sufficient time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap completely. If the tractor has a
coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to the tank,
not the radiator. (See "Checking Coolant Level" in

clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating all of the instructions. (See "JUMP STARTING" in
parts. "OPERATING THE ENGINE" section.)
6. Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
7. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working
on or near electric components.
8. To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not use
or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid level is
below the LOWER ( lower limit level ) mark. Check the
fluid level regularly and add distilled water as required
so that the fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER levels.

SERVICING OF TRACTOR 1
SERVICING OF TRACTOR
Your dealer is interested in your new tractor and has the
desire to help you get the most value from it. After reading
this manual thoroughly, you will find that you can do some
of the regular maintenance yourself.
However, when in need of parts or major service, be sure
to see your KUBOTA Dealer.
For service, contact the KUBOTA Dealership from which
you purchased your tractor or your local KUBOTA Dealer.
When in need of parts, be prepared to give your dealer the
tractor, CAB/ROPS and engine serial numbers.
Locate the serial numbers now and record them in the
space provided.
C Warranty
This tractor is warranted under the KUBOTA Limited
Express Warranty, a copy of which may be obtained from
your selling dealer. No warranty shall, however, apply if
the tractor has not been handled according to the
instruction given in the Operator's Manual even it is within
the warranty period.

C Scrapping the tractor and its procedure
To put the tractor out of service, correctly follow the local
rules and regulations of the country or territory where you
scrap it. If you have questions, consult your local
KUBOTA Dealer.

48 MAINTENANCE
The product name of KUBOTA genuine UDT fluid may be different from that in the Operator’s Manual depending on
countries or territories. Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further details.
MAINTENANCE 49
C Engine Oil:
A Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and Proper SAE
Engine Oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown above:
A Refer to the following table for the suitable API classification engine oil according to the engine type (with internal
EGR, external EGR or non-EGR) and the fuel.
C Fuel:
A Cetane number of 45 is minimum. Cetane number greater than 50 is preferred, especially for temperatures below
-20 (-4 ) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).
A Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
A No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines in industrial and heavy mobile service. (SAE J313 JUN87)
C Transmission Oil:
*KUBOTA Super UDT-2: For an enhanced ownership experience, we highly recommend Super UDT-2 to be used
instead of standard hydraulic/transmission fluid.
Super UDT-2 is a proprietary KUBOTA formulation that delivers superior performance and protection in all operating
conditions.
Regular UDT is also permitted for use in this machine.
A Indicated capacities of water and oil are manufacturer's estimate.
50 MAINTENANCE
C Engine Oil:
A Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and Proper SAE
Engine Oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown above:
A With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use of a low-
sulfur fuel on on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to
employ the "CF or better" lubricating oil with a high Total Base Number (TBN of 10 minimum).
A Refer to the following table for the suitable API classification engine oil according to the engine type (with internal
EGR, external EGR or non-EGR) and the fuel (low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel).
CF
High Sulfur Fuel (If the "CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4" lubricating oil is

[ 0.05% (500 ppm)] used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating
oil at shorter intervals. (approximately half))
C Fuel:
A Cetane number of 45 is minimum. Cetane number greater than 50 is preferred, especially for temperatures below
-20 or elevations above 1500 m.
A If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.5% (5000 ppm) sulfur content is used, reduce the service interval for
engine oil and filter by 50%.
A NEVER use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.05% (500 ppm) for EXTERNAL EGR type engine.
A DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 1.0% (10000 ppm).
A Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
A No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines in industrial and heavy mobile service. (SAE J313 JUN87)
C Transmission Oil:
The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure proper operation of the hydraulic
system and to complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important that a multi-grade transmission fluid is used in
this system. We recommend the use of KUBOTA UDT or SUPER UDT fluid for optimum protection and performance.
(Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further detail.)
Do not mix different brands together.
